Deep learning and intelligent sensing systems for port operations

A system for providing maritime navigation assistance, comprising:

• a plurality of support structures spatially distributed in fixed locations at or proximate to a maritime port, each of the plurality of support structures comprising:
• one or more mounting poles;
• a mounting frame supported by the one or more mounting poles, the mounting frame comprising a vertical base and a horizontal arm projecting away from the vertical base in a first direction;
• a first camera mount coupled to the vertical base of the mounting frame;
• an omnidirectional camera coupled to the first camera mount and extending a first distance away from the mounting frame in the first direction that is perpendicular to the vertical base of the mounting frame;
• a second camera mount coupled to the vertical base of the mounting frame;
• a thermal camera coupled to the second camera mount and oriented in the first direction;
• a LIDAR mount coupled to the horizontal arm of the mounting frame;
• a LIDAR unit coupled to the LIDAR mount;
• a radar mount coupled to the horizontal arm of the mounting frame and extending away from the mounting frame in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the vertical base of the mounting frame;
• and
• a radar unit coupled to the radar mount.
